Last week I went to see the Vampire nurse.
My letter said ‘Fasting bloods’ and no mention of any other test. 😉
I brought my arm! 😆
“Did you bring…..?” she began to ask.
“I didn’t. The letter never mentioned bring a sample, I checked.”
“Could you manage one for me now ?” She asks producing a syringe.
“Sorry” I said “You haven’t a hope. It will be at least lunchtime before I can manage a drop!”
“Well, take this home and put the filled syringe in the bag when you are finished, seal it, and return it to the clinic!”
I know you don’t believe me
Syringe for sample
On previous occasions we had little bottles for this purpose
Old and new styles
The old style was easier to fill, this time I used a foil cupcake dish and drew the liquid into the syringe, replaced the cap, put it in the bag with my details and returned it to the clinic.
Have you come across these syringes before?
